Engagements

Question
I praise my right hon. Friend for attending the parliamentary links day organised by the Royal Society of Chemistry and for his great support for science and engineering, but does he agree that, in delivering the G8 agenda on Africa and climate change, he will need strong support from the scientific and engineering community?
Answer

I totally agree. I was delighted to attend the parliamentary links day and to see that it was a thriving all-party occasion. Science will be particularly important in dealing with the killer diseases in Africa, and the science and technology behind dealing with climate change is also crucial. That is why it is so important that science forms a strong part of what we do in the G8.
